Before you go back to work tomorrow... remember this.

Before you go back to work tomorrow... remember this. Before you go into work tomorrow, I need you to remember something. Stop walking into work already worried about what type of mood everybody else is in. I used to do this. You walk in and you're already looking around like, Who's not speaking? Who's acting funny? Or did something happen? And before you even get your work day started, you're already stressed out. Listen, their mood is not your responsibility. If someone walks past you and doesn't speak, Someone seems irritated, okay? If someone suddenly starts acting funny with you, let them. Because one thing I had to learn was that every change in someone's behaviour doesn't require my energy. And it definitely doesn't require me spending a whole damn day trying to figure it out. Sometimes you didn't do anything. Sometimes people are just dealing with their own stuff. And sometimes they do have a problem with you. And guess what? If they're grown enough, they'll communicate that. I'm not chasing anybody around my workplace asking, are you okay? Did I do something? Hell, no. I'm gonna say good morning, I'm gonna do my job, and I'm gonna be respectful, and then I'm going home. I'm not trying to spend my eight hours of work trying to manage other people's emotions. If you're trying to learn how to protect your peace at work, follow me. We talk about this all the time here. So when you walk into work tomorrow, Don't walk in trying to read the room. Walk in, do your job, protect your peace, and let the grown people manage their own moods.
